The COP29 Volunteer Programme has reached the final stage of selection for volunteers to be involved in the global COP29 climate conference. As part of this initiative, a crucial phase of training focused on enhancing the essential skills and knowledge of COP29 volunteers has been successfully completed.
Over recent months, participants in the COP29 Volunteer Programme have undergone a series of comprehensive training sessions. These have equipped them with crucial insights and skills in personal development, sustainability, climate change, environmental protection, and the COP29 process, all aimed at preparing them for the conference. The volunteers who successfully completed the general training phase are now well-prepared for their roles.
Special role training for volunteers covered the specific tasks and responsibilities they will undertake during the COP29 conference, facilitated by experts from the relevant structural divisions of the COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company. During training, volunteers became acquainted with the departments they will be assigned to, met with team members, and were briefed on their duties throughout COP29.
As a result of the training phase, a total of 3,000 volunteers have been selected to work across 35 roles in 17 departments of the COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company. These volunteers will be involved in supporting accommodation services, transportation, logistics, and other operational areas starting from October 14.
Starting from November 3, the final phase of the programme will commence with venue training at Baku Stadium, featuring the participation of volunteers. During this stage, volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about the infrastructure of the event venue firsthand, exploring various areas, including the Blue and Green Zones. They will also work on developing their coordination skills while representing different functions on-site.
